Family Service of Rhode Island

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Providence has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Providence, about a mile away.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Providence, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Providence.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Providence differ on it.

The useful comparisons are concrete: the level of care, whether there is a prescriber, what the aftercare is, and the cost. Accreditation by a recognized body is a floor rather than a recommendation, and the absence of it is worth asking about. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.

The number follows the level of care, and that is not something a listing page can judge for you. Medicaid covers addiction treatment in every state, though which centers accept it varies from county to county. If the number is impossible, say so plainly, because the funded alternatives are real.

Sometimes, and it depends far more on the level of care than on the center. The gap between deciding and starting is where most people fall away, so a shorter wait has value of its own. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can check several programs at once rather than one at a time.
